Chicago examiner saturday vol x no 2 12 a m Chicago august 24 1912 saturday ri|ltter in 3a i un.l i . u 8 p , ttnt of(lot price one cent stsss & tttt archbold under oath says he believes roosevelt knew of 125,000 gift asked more standard oil refused to contribute until convinced colonel would gratefully receive it by james j montague ex-president declares charges are based on hearsay that archbold's testimony is false and that he is defam ing mr bliss now dead oyster bay n y aug 23 colonel roosevelt issued the following statement to-night in the first place i wish to call attention to the fact that even if air archbold's statements are true they amount only to saying so far as 1 am con cerned that mr bliss told him that i had knowledge of and approved a request for 100,000 from the standard oil company which was granted and a further request for 150,000 which was not granted this is a pure hear say statement and even if made in good faith would be utterly valueless not only did i never know anything of such a request being made but my published letters and tele gram show that when the rumor that there had been a contribution reached me i acted at once reiterating my demand again and again thai the money should be im mediately returned if it had been given and being assured by mr cortelyou that the money had noi been received and would not be received therefore even on the assumption that mr arch 1 bold is telling the truth his testimony so far as i am i concerned consists of the repetition of hearsay asser tions which were instantly disproved by the production of my letters and telegram doubts archbold's testimony i wish to reiterate that until mr pnnrose made his speech i never had heard it suggested that mr archbold i had contributed to the campaign or been the means | through which any contributions had been made but i do not for one moment believe that mr arch bold's testimony is truthful he apparently possesses such a moral stand that he does noi understand the infamous accusation he is making against mr bliss mr bliss is now dead but during the seven years that elapsed before mr bliss death after mr archbold claims he made the contribution in question mr arch bold never brought up any statement of this kind he now says that mr blise warned him that he waÃŸ making a serious mistake in not contributing the extra amount of money and that later on when the administra tion began to deal with the standard oil people air bliss said it would have been different if they had done as he asked them this is an assertion that mr bliss was deliberately trying to blackmail the standard oil into contributing by scarcely veiled threats as to what would happen if they did not contribute and that mr bliss in effect told them afterward that if they hat contributed the adminis | tration would not have proceeded against them for violat â€¢ ing the law â€” for this was all the administration did this is a wicked assault on a dead man wliose high i ! standing and probity was such that no human being who j | was himself honest would ever impute evil motives to him mr bliss was incapable of conduct such as mr arch bold imputes to him and i cannot too strongly denounce the baseness of making such an attack upon an honorable j i man who is now dead and whom air archbold never ventured to assail while living aloreover mr archbold shows perfectly clearly as published reports say that his corporation had contribtit i ed in order to get value for its gift and that the gift was made with the expectation of receiving improper consid eration i do not for one moment believe that air bliss made any such remarks to mr archbold as mr archbold says for example air archbold states that he and the late h h roges visited me at the white house and that i then remarked to them that there had been some crit icisms about campaign contributions this is a false hood neither on that occasion nor on any other occasion was one word said either by me to mr archbold or by mr arehbold to me about campaign contributions called to protest against suit mr rogers and air archbold called on that occa sion to protest against any government action being taken against the standard oil company this was one of a number of calls which mr arch bold made on me to try to prevent action against the standard oil company by the bureau of corporations under the department of the interior and by the de partment of justice ' if mr archbold had reaily believed that mr bliss had told him that i knew of any contribution by stand ard oil or had felt that he was jeopardized by having refused to make a contribution or was entitled to im munity for having made one he would certainly in one of those calls have said as much he never broached the subject ' "% he merely said over and over again that mr gar held and mr h k smith were treating him unfairly and he denied again and again that the standard oil i i ever got any rebates or ever did anything that was not | absolutely proper and he would keep on with these denials even i when 1 would tell him thai i had in my possession re ' ports from the bureau of corporations and the secretary lot the interior which conclusively showed that the stand ! ard oil had jj eeu taking rebates on the largest possible i scale lrasmuch as mr archbold does not tell the truth in jhis interview with m 1 have no doubt that he does not ; t ell the truth about the man who js dead and whom living he never dared to accuse as he now accuses him mr bliss never spoke to me about asking or receiv 1 ring a contribution from any one and he never before or j jat'ter the election said anything to me about my conduct i toward corporations except to say that he knew i would president of

signature anÃŸ printed in the august number of htarst's magazine the exception was the letter to senator penrose that enclosed a certificate of deposit for 25,000 archbold had doubts about the letter bul he admitted having given penrose the money as to the other letters to penrose to quay to hark tianna all containing suggestions as to legislation and other matters archbold had no doubts whatever that is correct was his usual reply as they were read to him one by one incidentally he told a great deal about the contributions of the standard oil company to the republican campaign fund or 19n4 he made it plain to his hearers that he believed the treatment he received lat the hands of the roosevelt administration was due to the refusal of his directors to give to treasurer blisn the additional 150,000 which that thrifty collector had asked for what he did not say was that he had either directly or indirectly any knowledge that roosevelt actually knew of his contribution or of the refusal to
